There is a similar posting on this issue but for Window 8 ( https://www.raspberrypi.org/forums/viewtopic.php?p=660752 ). I have and/or have had several Windows 7, Vista and now Window 10 Pro and Windows Family and all have been able to connect to my Pi's without issues. The Pi's are all set up with ...

Yes, having to find and then match case for a library is a bit annoying. But, I'm now working with either MySQLdb or pymysql for using a DictCursor. Unlike pymysql and mysql.connector which use database for specifying the database name, MySQLdb uses db . Another thing which slowed me down. Oh well, ...

I'm having a world of problems using the Python mysqldb libraries in Stretch on a Pi v3. I've done a fair amount of searching on this topic and it appears that I'm not alone!! When I use "import mysqldb" I get an error "ImportError: No module named mysqldb". I've even posted this question on StackEx...

I added "nofail" to my mount statement in the fstab and also converted it to use the UUID. That has been working now for several weeks. and I have started using MariaDB and setting up users, etc, but no databases. Today I tried to make the changes suggested by rpdom on April 7 so I could have my dat...

Heater....I have installed VS_Code on my laptop and I think it is operational. Seems like I have a lot to learn but it looks like something close to my wants. EDIT: My error: When coding an object, for example c=open(….), and I type x=c. I expected then to immediately get a drop-down of the methods ...

OK, well, I in fact installed it from the GIT sudo git clone https://github.com/sourceperl/pyModbusTCP.git Now should I reinstall as you propose? How do I remove the clone installed library? Thinking about it I have many libraries which I installed via the clone process, for example RTL_433. Is ther...

I have a problem with Python 3 not finding a module library, but Python 2.7 does. Here is a VERY simple program: #!/usr/bin/env python # -*- coding: utf-8 -*- from pyModbusTCP.client import ModbusClient print("hello world") Below you can see back to back runs of this program only switching from pyth...

Andyroo: Thanks for the idea. Currently in my /etc/fstab I have this line: /dev/sda1 /mnt/usbdrive vfat defaults,dmask=000,fmask=111 0 0 which is configured to work for SAMBA read/write file sharing. If I understand you, and in practice it works like this, if I change USB sticks it does not matter a...

Currently I'm writing code on my Windows 10 Pro laptop using IDLE and then transferring the code to a Raspberry Pi to run. For the Pi I've installed some object packages, like RTL_433, pyModbus, etc, from a GIT site or other sources. My code generally works on the Pi, but on the laptop when coding I...

Douglas.....All of the files in the concatenation list in this file (/etc/mysql/my.cnf) , shown below, were either empty or did not contain the directory information # The MariaDB/MySQL tools read configuration files in the following order: # 1. "/etc/mysql/mariadb.cnf" (this file) to set global def...

I realize that this is an old posting, but I have just installed MariaDB on my Pi 3b running Stretch. Before I start any database development I would like to have the data stored/accessed on an external HD or USB stick. With the passage of time and the MariaDB MySQL replacement on Raspbian Stretch, ...

OK, correct me if I'm wrong: 1. to create the non- root user with root powers (ie "admin") I have to use the sudo mysql command? and then create user 'admin'@'localhost' identified by 'a good pw'; grant all privileges on *.* to 'admin'@'localhost' with grant option; 2. After that I use the mysql -u ...

command I tried to use a different user id and PW but that was rejected. When I ran it again with root as the user and used the REAL root password for my box, it worked. I'm not real happy to have it require the REAL root id and password....RDK

I set out to install MySQL but I gather that Raspbian is now working with MariaDB and that it is fully compatible with MySQL. Ok no problem as I'm a new user to either. I installed like this: $ sudo apt-get install mariadb-server $ sudo mysql -u me -p Enter password: ERROR 1698 (28000): Access denie...

I'm an old time programmer brought up writing Fortran programs, ie what folks now call Procedural Programming. I've written a few things in Python, but for sure have not used many of the object-oriented features which are available. I'm reading a couple books right now on the subject, but they mostl...
